Hotel Artica - Hotel
Oaxaca - Mexico

The tall and skinny Hotel Artica has 12 neat rooms on the upper three floors, each with a bed, bathroom and basics. The cheerful staff insists that noise from busy Mina Street doesnâ€™t travel upwards, but we'll let you be the judge of that. Itâ€™s close to the second-class bus station in a second-class neighborhood, but near enough the zĂłcalo to make it a safe bet. Cash only, reservations not required.
